Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Toolkit for Employers and Hiring Managers!
Students from International Pathways (SFIP) bring diverse and global perspectives to the workplace that can lead to an increase in revenue, innovation, and productivity. Do you want to equip your employer network with tools to support SFIP?
|
The ACE-WIL Research Committee is delighted to share a toolkit with six easy-to-use resources (i.e. checklists, tipsheets) that could help employers and WIL practitioners advance diversity and inclusion in WIL hiring.
|
- Increase employers’ understanding of how to integrate D&I for SFIP in their workplace
- Promote greater awareness and tools for navigating unconscious bias
- Enhance intercultural awareness and competencies for recruiting, hiring and onboarding SFIP
- Develop skills on how to better track success of SFIP initiatives
The toolkit can be accessed by clicking here. You can also watch a teaser video that summarizes the toolkit here.
|
Also, click here to watch some of Canada’s top employers talk about the unique value that SFIP bring to an organization and the steps taken by these employers to attract, hire and onboard SFIP.

If you wish to learn more about this project and related resources, please feel free to contact Andrea Sator (ajsator@sfu.ca) or Karima Ramji (ramjik@uvic.ca).

Survey: Workplace Discrimination Reporting Practices in WIL

Through this short anonymous survey, we hope to understand the processes you use/have used while navigating such

incidents within your WIL work.
